On Wednesday at a campaign event in South Carolina, Donald Trump claimed that House Speaker Paul Ryan, who has long supported entitlement reforms, wrecked the Republican Party’s chances at the White House in 2012 because he supposedly alienated older voters.

There’s only one problem with Trump’s claim: it’s completely wrong.

“That was the end of that campaign, when they chose Ryan,” Trump said. “That was the end of the campaign. I said, ‘You gotta be kidding.’”

Trump specifically claimed that Ryan’s desire to cut Medicare is what caused support among older voters for the Romney-Ryan ticket to tank.

“The only one that’s not cutting [entitlement programs] is me,” he said.

Since Mike Huckabee dropped out of the race, Trump is the only Republican candidate who has promised that he won’t cut entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, even though just these two programs have Americans in the hole by some $73 trillion already, meaning working taxpayers will soon have to pay the tab for retirees while receiving few or no benefits themselves. Or America could default on its debts and liabilities, sending the world economy into a tailspin.

When you crunch the numbers, Trump’s claims about 2012 don’t pan out. In fact, Romney and Ryan garnered the highest amount of support from older voters than any other Republican candidate in a presidential election since Ronald Reagan’s landslide victory in 1984.

Newly discovered texts in the Justice Department’s inspector general report reveal that an FBI agent investigating the Donald Trump campaign promised in August 2016 to prevent Trump from being elected.
